It means plenty, just not in all circumstances. It's used to calculate purchasing power parity for one (roughly equates the purchasing power of the average citizen, ie standard of living).
China also happens to have only 3x the gdp with about 6.5x the population, in 112.75% of the space (9.6 mil sqkm to 8.5 sqkm)
9,600,000 sqkm
8,514,877

Besides, if we combine other countries together into a new server, then the numbers will be larger and Riot will be more inclined to do it.
